2026 women who give award: Deb Bulkeley
We are proud to announce that longtime WLP supporter Debra Bulkeley will receive the 2026 Women Who Give Award at this year’s eat LUNCH give. This award honors a community leader whose generosity and commitment have strengthened our mission and expanded our impact across Boston.
For more than a decade, Deb has advanced our work through philanthropic leadership, community advocacy, and hands-on service. Through her involvement with the Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay and its Homelessness Task Force, she has elevated awareness of women’s homelessness and introduced new supporters to our mission. Inspired to address housing insecurity, Deb and her family have directed their giving to expand our wraparound programming for women in need.
With more than 1,000 volunteer hours in direct service to the guests of Women’s Lunch Place, Deb’s compassion and dedication embody the true spirit of the Women Who Give Award.
